Good afternoon everyone. Happy thursday. A couple things and then we will get to our guests. A lot of fun happening today. First Lady Jill Biden is traveling to the United Kingdom to attend the coronation of his majesty king charles the third in her majesty Queen Camilla on tap of the United States. The u. S. And the United Kingdom are close allies and strong partners with enduring ties between our countries and people. The first ladys honor to represent the United States for this historic moment. In addition to attending the coronation in participating in court nation activities the first lady will also meet with the spouse of Prime Minister. She will join the Prime Minister and mrs. Marte for their coronation and lunch. Her full schedule was released by the first ladys office early this morning. I also want to share this morning President Biden with what comes his nominee for president of the world bank. To the white house to congratulate him on his resounding selection to lead the bank today discussed how they will continue to Work Together to transform the world bank to reduce poverty address global challenges including Climate Change and expand prosperity around the globe. Without my colleague admiral john kirby is here to discuss her support for Ukrainian National security adviser Jake Sullivans upcoming speech at the Washington Institute on the middle east policy and take your questions that you all have. With that admiral the podium is yours. I know there has been a lot of questions over the last 24 hours of the alleged drug a track the drone attack in the come in and we are still trying to gather information about what happened. I know there are lots of questions that we just dont have any information. One thing i can tell you for certain is that the United States was not involved in this incident in any way contrary to the lies and thats what they are, just lies to the past two years days weve seen russia launched drones into ukraine including shoppers at a supermarket. Russia continues to wage a global war against ukraine and people commit to support ukraine as they defend their country from that aggression including its use for another package of security drawdowns. On the president issued an executive order to respond to the violence that began on the 15th last month. This new executive order authorizes targeted sanctions that promote accountability for individuals that are responsible for threatening the Peace Security and stability of. Underminings democratic transition using violence against civilians or pieces. United states stands for the people of and we are acting to support their commitment there to security. The present statement noted the people of have suffered 30 years under an authoritarian regime that they never gave up their commitment to democracy further hope for a better future. Their dedication brought down a dictator to endure a military takeover in october of 21 and now more violence and military factions fighting for control. The people of deserve better and if the military factions leaders desire peace and security they have the sudanese people they should stop fighting. They should put the arms down the pike by what they committed to and get back to the table so they can transition to civilian authority. I expect there will be questions about sanctions and what might be coming next and let me get ahead of you and tell you we dont preview sanctions like you dont have any specific sanctions to speak to you today. The seau ceo will operate the department treasures and others to look on whats appropriate and lastly is korean noted National Security adviser jake sold and will deliver a keynote address at the Washington Institutes annual conference where he will outline the middle east region including how diplomacy is fostering a more secure stable region so i highly recommend you tune in. We have to guess and not a lot of time. Thank you john. You called what he said a lie could you talk about what the motivation for that carter would be . The motivation for the lie . Why would a lie about that and are you concerned its a first up in an escalation as far as a complex . Have you seen the press conference . I wont begin to estimate why that man says what he says. What was behind that although i will say from the very beginning the russians have been trying to paint this were some sort of fight as a weapon against russia and nato against the rush and the United States against russia. The framing of president putin trying to label this war like it was some sort of existential threat to russia and its not. Russias aggressor here. They have diplomatic offers on the table before they decided to roll across the border into ukraine and they ignored all those options. They decided war and they are continuing to fight that war. I want to be clear we are still looking at this. We havent come to any conclusions one way or the other could we are going to try to learn more. Lets not label it a reporter investigation or anything like that. Were doing the best we can to find out what happened but thats why pivoted in my opening statement. Well understand the interest in this and clearly we are interested in it to lets not lose the Bigger Picture here. Its not like mr. Putin has to invent new reasons to kill innocent ukrainians. He keeps doing it over and over again and hes going to use this as some sort of pretext is up to him but in the past 24 hours he is bombing shoppers at the supermarket so the violence continues one way or the other. Can you walk us through the circumstances is why you decided to sanction now. We asked you the question before but is it a way to to try to give up on this conflict or is the way to end the conflict and secondly why did you not mention the journalists by name. We didnt announce any sanctions today. We dont preview sanctions and i have no sanctions to speak to one way or another. But this ceo will do is give the Administration Thanks to the present decision to execute this order and to sign this order will give us authority and flexibility should we want to apply sanctions is one tool here in order to hold folks accountable and to try to get out a better solution in sight of. There was no need in the io to name the leaders of the military factions. We have said all along we are talking about the general the leader of the Rapid Support forces. You shouldnt read into that. Im previewing specific sanctions against them individually or any other entity. We dont preview sanctions. If and when we have something with respect to sanctions we will certainly let you know. [inaudible] we dont preview sanctions. The io allows for authorities to look at the tools, the leverage tools particularly in the case of sanctions, possibly sanctions but we havent issued any sanctions. Admiral thank you for being here. Can you help us understand what if any conversations the administration is having with ukraine to help it brace for what appears to be a russian attack . Its a continuous round. If youre sitting in kyiv its almost constant the barrage that mr. Putin is continued on the ukrainian people and ukrainian cities. I dont have the exact figures but the majority of crews missiles that were launched against ukraine in just the last 48 to 72 hours ukranians were able to take down using air defense capabilities provided not only why the United States but our allies and partners so we are continuing to focus on it. The secretary said the u. S. Has more confidence in ukraines capabilities than was suggested in those weeks. How much confidence does the administration have and when do you expect it to begin . I will tell you what we are confident in. We are confident that just about doing everything we can in the United States and speaking broadly for our allies and partners to make sure if and when president zelensky chooses to go on offense and hes the only one that can make that decision. I can answer your second question that we have done everything we can to make sure that they are ready. They have the vast majority and bypass to mean something to the order of 90 of what they asked for materially to do offensive operations and they got it. Armor, artillery, air defense, ammunition not to mention the training for multiple brigades of the training armed forces outside the country. Its not just the stuff but the knowhow on how to use that stuff in the field are what we call combined arms maneuver which is what they believe they will need operating integrating mechanize in artillery and air defense in a field. We have done everything we can and that doesnt mean we are going to stop and that doesnt mean we are done. Lc continued support from United States Going Forward but as for the actual execution of any kind of counteroffensive its up to president zelensky. In terms of the central drone attack on the kremlin can you state what your baseline is inhibit unable to authenticate any videos and was the drone attack that took place . The next question. And you go through any of the central theories that you have for what could have been or what the potential is . The last thing im going to did jeremy is speculate up here. We are trying to ascertain exactly what happened and do the best we can and we are going to be humble about this. We may never fully understand exactly what happened here. I think im just going to leave it at that. On china the u. S. Ambassador to china said yesterday the u. S. Is ready to talk and engage in a high level with beijing. So far it seems like its been crickets from beijing. Have you gotten any signal to china is gearing up to be open to that kind of highlevel dialogue and are you putting back on the table rescheduling secretary blinkens trip to china . He never took it off the table. It was postponed and never cancel then secretary blinken spoke to this yesterday. We are communicating with the prc about trying to get this back on schedule to open up lines of communication that the chinese shut down after Speaker Pelosi visited taiwan. I will tell you a good segue to an exploit which is the linux medication appears to remain open. They probably discover the term, put communication about the bit rates of military art would like to get back out. It also understand the text into an autonomous outright exceeded the risk of Co Collection go up but another Climate Change is another venue for all communications are not checked out. Except to the planet. You guys bring us cap world turn to back mary had eight lap strips for possible influx of migrants. Asking mexico to do to prepare . Do you expect that or anything like that . You think youre looking for mexico. I point you to deplete readout transcript stated. Its clear that we have dialogue with mexican authorities post at trafficking that wes willingness to take in house migrants illegally are trying to enter the United States. Theres been terrific dialogue very pointed about. But do not think about this extra 1500 troops as they were looking for reciprocal behavior. Again but just to reiterate this troops are not going to participate in law theyre simply going to flesh out with already existing by dod on the border helping with logistics and sustainment and that kind of thing. Plus 1. 2 trillion dollar largest u. S. Debt growing number of countries seem to be moving from the use of the dollar part of their concern for that . Currency is a real big part by the u. S. Has been able to exert its leadership. Understand the fact vendors are beginning to turn away which resolve . Work so let japan speak to Economic Policy text the number of countries with the nearest dollar . Is he going to have to take your question on the answer for you. When more should we read the executive order as a warning to both sides about this ongoing conflict and doesnt signal a shift in the assessment elastic space bar . Is it will be terrific if there was no need to execute sections one way or the other. I would not read it as a warning for suppressant sadness the proper authorities pasted under tools. Probably want to happen within this clearly and repeatedly for them to put down their arms, stop fighting get back to the table work on transition to civilian authority which is at the sudanese people once produces critically i did not mention this and was remiss in not doing is to allow humanitarian assistance to get food, water, medicine or short supply are more than halfway and is good for the people estimate one regards as nasa shifted all the prospects for the ceasefire to hold this to work and it has been extended a couple of times there has been sporadic fighting in spite of that. That said they have played in general speak internally to violence. Humanitarian assistance continues into dangerous. You expect to ever be in a position to be able to confirm the drone attack templates or not . This is expected to compensate text present conversation with President Biden and president zelenskyy . They speak frequently i cannot toe the next conversations going to be there to leaders and have a frequent regular communication. But despite the South China Sea that had president s heading later this month. Could you talk a little bit about what you view to be the benefit of the Nuclear Power and how that would affect military readiness . This is about providing helping provide australia with a Nuclear Propelled Submarine capability. Obviously you sell out there going to san diego to take years to get them there. The Engineering Work that has to go into operating safely, which is essentially icy Nuclear Reactor on an undersea craft is pretty complicated. It takes a lot of hard work. We look forward to working the australian and the british to get this capability. Nuclear power it does for you and the undersea environment gives you staying power. This gives you gives you duration. You can stay underwater. Stay hidden state legal for longer periods of time without having to come up literally to come up air part is a terrific capability we are confident this mifepristone be able to master this and we arty hard at work getting in there. On top of what you said many times allegations are a lie. That message being delivered as well what you share about engagement with the russians if there is any about understanding what happens . Remembered i am not aware of any conversations with us and russian of this alleged drone attack. They just happened pretty clear its a blatant bold lie. I dont think we need to privately convey that to him im sitting here again today. The nature of the allegation once it tight about the intensity of possible retaliation . Not on here. Right. Doing the best it cant do that. Ask again. Waiting around for an excuse maybe he will use it that way i do not know whether its a false flag. Thats my point is judge of the last 24 hours for just in the last 24 hours two dozen ukrainians killed. Some shopping for food for dinner. The brutality is off the charts theres nothing proportional about this, nothing. Next jon, ive got a question about House Oversight Committee Subpoena that was issued yesterday. Seeking fbi document from 2020 that describes an alleged criminal scheme involving then vice President Biden in a Foreign National leading to the of money for policy decision. What is white house response to this there is allegation . Listen protector Justice Department on that regards to what country this pertained to . Nothing is or how to refreeze in the Justice Department and im enough, seo. [laughter] all right, thank you so much. As quickly our next guest lmb director jan is here to discuss Speaker Mccarthys default unamerican act flesh programs that families rely on. Before i could get over i wanted to note new analysis and counsel with Realtime Data that we are already seeing significant market stress term default threats cea and analysis show even getting close to the public could be incredibly damaging to Financial Markets and cause serious economic harm deal American Workers and. Brinksmanship would cause hundreds of thousands of jobs the economy. The actual default would be even more severe with the economy losing 8 million jobs. If the default or to last three months, 8 million jobs for three months if it were to last three months. There is a broad consensus among economists that default would create an entirely avoidable economic catastrophe. That is what is at stake here. That is what is at stake for that of the incidents been talking about. We have been trying to make it very clear from the American People what is ahead. If this were to be allowed by House Republicans, with that i will turn it over too Shalonda Young to work detail. This was a command budget damp promise im not going to surprise you with budget number two. [laughter] still happy to be back with you today. For most americans outside of this town, we are all here to report, the conversation on budget and default are sometimes need to buy a lot of literature to sound more complicated than they are. Its pretty simple.

This was a command budget damp promise im not going to surprise you with budget number two. [laughter] still happy to be back with you today. For most americans outside of this town, we are all here to report, the conversation on budget and default are sometimes need to buy a lot of literature to sound more complicated than they are. Its pretty simple. Last week was a House Republicans<\/a> passed a partisan bill it says we are going to put our entire economy at risk was the president embraced our entire agenda. You got programs hardworking families depend on. Does it sound extreme . It is because it is. Imagine at this president said here is my budget on march 9. If you do not take it out lock, stock, barrel, do not change a word, to cause a recession cost millions of people to drop extreme. Look, the president s position simple. Congress easily take action to prevent default without hostage taking political brinksmanship. Just as they did three times president. He is scared to have a separate conversation about the budget without threatening power economy. But ill to be really clear, this is not some abstract debate. This its about peoples lives. Its important people understand exactly what this bill would mean for them. For starters it would cut veterans benefits. That is but with a public outcry from tonights veterans groups when this bill was considered. It is public safety, reducing support for Law Enforcement<\/a> and laying off board approval agents. Undermines a transit safety lead to 7500 fewer rail Safety Inspection<\/a> is an times at tsa checkpoints. I think funding for schools with low income students, impacting an estimated 26 million students. Taking a bite and Addiction Services<\/a> for seniors. We are talking of meals on wheels. I will jeopardize Health Coverage<\/a> and access americans, the list goes on and on. And by the way of House Republicans<\/a> ultimately block away from 70s deep and unpopular cuts then there are cuts to Everything Else<\/a> get worse. Its just map. And here is the kicker, all of this even as a separately fight the expenditure of tax cuts skewed to the wealthy corporations in this country. Do not let want to tell you this is about fiscal responsibility over deficit reduction. It is not. This despite the threat of a catastrophic default to extract deep cuts the. The president has taken a very different approach. In march he released a budget that would invest in the american opera you heard me say this, grow the middle out and bottom up in constant deficit by nearly 3 trillion in the next decade. We do that by cutting hundreds of billions of dollars of wasteful spending and big pharma, big oil and other special area. Generally dont do . We did not vote to be cancer research, also his research, it starts loss to put our country on a better fiscal path. Preventing default as a basic constitutional responsibility and they need to get it done, thank you. If you laid out the stakes pretty clearly here. So far no one seems to be budging. I wonder especially the clock really ticking at this point were just a few weeks away what time you start planning for default to actually happen in the plans already started . Are you talking with companies . Eat believe in this might be the optimist i worked in years on the hill. On the devastating results of default many of them around in 2011 when her faith and credit was reduced. Well find a path to avoid default. But it is our job to keep coming to you. Go to the American People<\/a> and make sure people understand this debate is about it. So this is what we are doing to make sure we keep that drum beat up. And i read members of congress now that is the wrong cap to go down. Look, was on the partisan process play out straight now independent to a bad process that something avoid negative presence test and avoid default. Didnt mention his Credit Ratings<\/a> to the last time we got this posted about in 2011. This is down to the wire even openly avoided . Want to hurt us talk about our cognos report. Clear port loans this country but is going to take the cost of living in a higher we are concerned. We are caught on the reasonable people in this town to the right thing. This is what we dont talk about. Congress can put a bill on the floor tomorrow and of the ship is what that is moving to that. What is that something might happen to figure out a way to get this. Course i know may conversation republicans that would take us into the situation again this Time Next Year<\/a> on the table it will have to work there is how long. Dont take anything off the table for the important thing to do is make sure we do this and leave the drama behind true Comfort Level<\/a> payments remind people of amortization goldsmith or congress. What we pay our bills. It sounds like you not take a short tame stopgap off the table. That congress would send the present bill debate is. We are in a take it or leave it days from congressional or public land to be in that part of the conversation because we are at least in the positively falls off the table. And buppercaseletter gets that part of the conversation, we are not there yet. The idea is to put brinksmanship to bed get to talking to mutually avoid default. What type at least on the right side of this debate. Excellence with her and set a couple of into the House Speaker<\/a> talks about limiting spending. What does he mean when he says that . Is he mocking the House Speaker<\/a> c suggesting there might be some cuts hes amenable to question what is thinking when he says that question. I dont know what the content i will say as i tucked the president a lot about spending price this present is made clear spending would like not to talk about. Spending on big pharma, big oil closing tax loopholes is budget faced 30 billion that president is happy to cut that spending. He has think about that. Would you rather do that or would you rather cut head start . This president is not backed away. The problem is who you value in the country as a special interest or doing to save on the back of people who can least afford it . Quickly you look at how dire the situation is, why samantha House Speaker<\/a>, Kevin Mccarthy<\/a> on may 9 might not have it today . What scent do not know where the speaker is and what his schedule is so i will not speak to try and get the leaders of the country into the same room. But i do know is the meeting is happening. As you know the press is going to make clear default has to come off the table. Are you in this country, what the tax policy is in this country. Why every time we have this debate it has to go to working families in this country first. In order to the right thing for this country. That is what is important. That message is going to be delivered and is going to be delivered next week. The downgrade can happen. Are you looking maybe the last week of may this month or possibly could be a downgrade customer is there and date you have identified it could be a downgrade . Whats our mind to the secretaries letter i know gets reported it was june 1. That was as early as. As were confidence because of the secretary will refine to make sure all decisionmakers know the updated timeline when there is more confidence around it. We need to let that work out before we go into noise when the credit agencies speak to the u. S. And by the way the whole reason im here today, the whole reason you hear a fully mistreated vote as we do not want to get there. Even that has an impact on the American People<\/a>. Why do we do that . Will the president go up next so that with a Counter Office<\/a> on appropriations next week when their meeting about the debt limit . The going to counter offer . You heard my outline what the president will deliver. I have a question for you, we are skipping a few steps. This bill is not gone to the senate. Then appropriations a long time. Something to me those top clients in that bill, there are many republicans cannot vote the battles that actually tell the American People<\/a> by line item what it means. In some people get nervous about those veterans cuts. And they decide not to do that, what is next . Cancer research . You zero out the highway many in the transportation bill . Look, weve done this before. Republicans have done this before. 2013 dash 2014 for transportation bill on the floor. Never left the floor. Because those cuts pert communities we are represented by democrat or republican. We have seen a partisan process thats made on purpose. Wait until you see the details. Lets see with the appropriations process falls down. To work out some of their own issues to see if this top of line delete sale with Congressional Republicans<\/a> at large and we see spending bills come through. And they need to tell us what they can pass to to the president s desk. Us on appropriations grasp over thing . On appropriations and a set of beginning of the year with the appropriations and talk about how important it is to get back on a regular order by september. How does that play any of the debt ceiling the nations . Are you still committed to that order . He should be everyone in the salad site regular order is a good thing. It makes it hard when appropriations spending is being brought in to default conversation. Docents should be handled separately. That is my entire points. Not only is it catastrophic for a default perspective it sets us on a road to be ineffective in the appropriations process. This is a cascading brought. We need to look at it that was a holistic approach. How do you do the spending process was being brought forward into this area partisan process . Thank you for being here. You said nothing is off the table does not apply to the president. [inaudible] let me be very clear. Congress needs to do its job. Tomorrow they compatibility the floor to make sure we dont default. This is of peoples own making. I could probably write the bill for them in five minutes. It is pretty easy. We need to keep reminding ourselves this is made up promise. And we believe as they did three times last president hundreds of times in the history of the country it is Congress Duty<\/a> to ensure we do not default. Thats if we get to may 30 and theres still no deal with the president entertain the possibility of invoking the 14th amendment . We continue to have a position this is Congress Duty<\/a> to do. It is Congress Duty<\/a> to do. We will continue to say that. But some talk she told us on the panel today it is almost certain china and russia would use it to demonstrate chaos in the United States<\/a> to agree that assessment . Abroad with this disaster be . I have the utmost respect for the dni. And i could not agree with her more. This just gives her a global competitor, they love this. They love to see chaos in the american system. A love to see your basic jobs is no less detestable works in this is democracy still work . Work . And things like this that the step up to the plate and do what is it is no less what theyve laid out. By the way some of these cuts in and the people want to take dissent up and oh, what about our research . What about manufacturing placement on the progress made in bringing manufacturing back to this country would buy would be at this moment in time with the progress we and unemployment manufacturing jobs made it in america, why would we do anything in this country calls but with reverse you. You all looked lovely this weekend. [laughter] s. Okay we are running out of time guys im going to give you the week ahead so you all have that. That week. Tomorrow the president will participate in a meeting on housing that the bottom up for it on monday president will host a screening of American Liberation<\/a> of asianamerican native hawaiian and Pacific Islander<\/a> heritage month. Went to as the president will meet with speaker Kevin Mccarthy<\/a>, Hakeem Jeffries<\/a> leader Chuck Schumer<\/a> and leader Mitch Mcconnell<\/a> the white house. We have one. On friday president by look forward to welcoming residents. As a space to the white house defendant defendant store ties with the United States<\/a> new leaders will review our efforts as nato allies enclosing partners to strengthen our bilateral defense relationship, transatlantic security and economic prosperity. They will discuss our unwavering support for ukraine in our efforts to impose cost on the kremlin is in russia confuses a brutal aggression. The leaders will work rotating presidency of the council of the European Union<\/a> and caribbean. With that dancing is ireland be like. A. Two questions. One on the border we are already seeing is in the valley, 42 is an egg next week but how confident is the president you put in place is going to hold given were already seeing strengthen the system . Heading into may 11 in understanding fortitude is going to lift. Until you heard from the department of Homeland Security<\/a> just held a press conference last week. We have laid out the tools in our toolbox with the challenges we are seeing on the order. This is something the president taken very seriously from the beginning of his demonstration. Ive asked congress to take action verb asked congress to meet us, even halfway up to put forward legislation first in the Administration Conference<\/a> of inside legislation from the understand important is to modernize this seriously. But our i can say, some of the already public secretaries at the border in texas today. With many of your colleagues to assess ongoing preparations for the return to title eight immigration process and bring something and spoke about the debris visiting a processing center, a port of entry meeting with migrant canadians and absorbing some removal flights dhs is wrapping up. Comiccon thank you. Question, the president stopped by i wonder what he asked, cap gpt. [laughter] i know there was questions about this officer president check gpt, the president has been briefed on chat gpt and does how it works but i can confirm as it relates to, i havent asked his thoughts on it but this is something important to the president , this is why hes had continuing engagement on this issue, he worked recently, youve got to hear from him as relates today the Vice President<\/a> Senior Administration<\/a> officials convened the meeting and they believe companies at the forefront of a. I. To underscore their belief in a. I. Is one of the most probable technologies of our time but its the opportunity to present we must mitigate the risk and want risk medicated in progress to be safe so thats what you are seeing from this engagement in particular but its something the president wants to make sure we are dealing with a. I. In the way is the most Profitable Technology<\/a> of our time but we have to make sure we protect peoples rights and thats what youre seeing the of administration during. Director young said when it comes to the debt ceiling issue, does not apply him as well because neither the house for the senate have a clean debt limit increase so the solution the president is proposing is at odds with current reality on the hill. Does he need to adjust to get right with reality . Hold on a second, this is going to be catastrophic for American People<\/a>. Theres a reason why we call the bill has republicans put together a default in america act because it is. They move forward with what they put forward and we know House Republicans<\/a> and moderate republicans voted on this bill, its going to hurt megan families and its the president job to be very clear with congress, with republicans in congress. You got to do your job, simple. You take an oath, this is it, the basic thing you need to do for the america people to make sure we are not a deadbeat nation. Seventyeight times we been able to do this 1960. Three times in the last administration so the question is to Speaker Mccarthy<\/a> as ive said many times to the moderate republicans, whats going on here . Why can you not get this . Is simple. Its simple to take back to the president , the president has done more for the American People<\/a> and moderate republicans have the last two years. A solution you can present next week that will get 60 votes . The president is going to bring the leaders of the house and senate to the white house as you know next tuesday, may 9 as you stated and hes going to lay out what the consequences are, hes going to be very clear that congressional members need to take action. This is their constitutional duty, hes going to be incredibly clear on that as he has been for months. Weve been very clear, we do not understand why they cant get this done the last republican administration, democrats put politics aside and came together with republicans and got this done. We can have, every year we have a conversation about the budget, that something that happens, a conversation about appropriations, the budget and you negotiate, that makes sense. We are having a conversation about default, really . The banking sector, specifically in the stock market and it seems like the concern has moved from depositors money out of mid range thanks 2008 during the financial crisis you have regulators impose a stop on short selling of banks, something under consideration. The administration is going to monitor the Market Development<\/a> including shortselling pressures on healthy banks. I would have to refer you to any possible action but certainly is something we will continue to monitor. On the a. I. Meeting, there are confessions from Companies Going<\/a> in, they would allow look at the underlying models of the convention in august, and the Vice President<\/a> statement she said the administration endorsed regulations on a. I. , does the white house want to see a. I. Products go through regulatory look under the hood before they are released or are you okay with the status quo which is stuff just coming out and maybe after the fact im not going to get ahead of the read. It was a frank conversation, honest frank conversation that included discussion on a couple of things. Three main things. The need for companies to be more transparent with policymakers, public and others about their a. I. Systems in particular, the importance of being able to evaluate, verify evaluate the safety and security and efficacy of a. I. Systems and the need to ensure a. I. Systems are secure from malicious actors as you were stating. We have lead on these issues since long before the newest generations, generated a. I. Products and will continue in a way that mitigates risk and protects american, who want to move forward with that and honest conversation, frank conversation here with the Vice President<\/a> and the president , it shows how sears they would take it. We had the meeting last month talk about how to talk to the president and his team on what we can do and we are going to continue to have this engagement with critical stakeholders on this issue. This is important to the president. You said many times its up to congress to raise the debt ceiling. If that does not happen, or the white house president say confident we did everything in our power to avoid it . The question is the congress, they do what they were supposed to do to avoid it. Their constitutional duty, i get the question and i understand hes the president and i understand why you all asked the question but this is so easy. Its not difficult. It truly is not. Seventyeight times this has been done since 1960. This is something that we are supposed to do. Pay our debt, pay our debt we have done, weve never not done so the president is going to happen here, hes going to lay out why it is so important, critically important that we do not allow American Families<\/a> to be hurt here because thats the default will be from about what their bill will do so it is on them, i hope when Speaker Mccarthy<\/a> comes next week, you all can ask that question, what is he going to do . Hes the leader of the republican caucus. Hes the speaker, its something he needs to do, Speaker Pelosi<\/a> made it happened, she put the politics aside and made it happened so this is something we want to communicate with you all and understand you guys see the process but we want the American People<\/a> to understand what the director said moments ago. Does the president believe there should be code of conduct. Ive been asked about ethics and this question many times before. The senate is currently moving forward with the process. We will leave it to the senate for now. On the Supreme Court<\/a> issuing a report [inaudible] code of conduct with a lower federal court and etc. , does the president read that report . The president has seen the report and we said many times before, the Bipartisan Commission<\/a> that came together and put the report together, but you are speaking of as it relates to this moment in time, the senate is clearly taking action, they are going through their process and we will leave it there for now. You said on the podium youre not going to comment on any story having to do just as thomas and code of conduct, why not . Right now its being as it relates to ethics, that process, the senate is clearly moving forward with their own procedural process, im just going to leave it there for now. Maybe i will come back, who has not been . I have two questions about president sanchez, is the president going to do a joint press conference and also, we had the leaders of the philippines brazil here without joint press conferences with the president , whats the threshold for which leaders get a drink press conference in which ones dont . Appreciate the question. We had a joint press conference recently last week with the south korean president as you know. Sure you probably listened in on it which i happened about a week ago, last wednesday. I dont have anything to share about their travels and we will have more details on what the agenda will look like. Every conversation is different, its a diplomatic conversation that occurs when we talk about what they are going to be doing here at the white house, i just dont have anything more to share on the. In order question. [inaudible question] [inaudible question] i would refer you friends to deal with this question. [inaudible] you keep saying the president next week congressional leaders will lay out the conferences, outline why it is so important, he noted states for weeks yet nothing was changed, what makes the president think getting in this room and laying out the again was at stake is somehow going to change providence . The president and Vice President<\/a> , hes been on the other side on the avenue these issues, he knows these folks, he knows these leaders in the president has been able things done in a bipartisan way and we have the record to show that he will sit down on the conversation a frank conversation, dont want to get into what might happen coming out about what is important for the United States<\/a> to lay out on behalf of the American People<\/a> what it will mean directly facetoface directly to the speaker so youre going to see. We know leader jeffries and leader schumer and the president are on the same page. They have been on the same page for months, Something Congress<\/a> needs to do and would been calling on Speaker Mccarthy<\/a> and House Republicans<\/a> to do their jobs so they are going to have a frank and honest conversation, some think the president knows how to do and has done it in various positions so we will see how it goes. On the shooting in atlanta, has the president reached out to the families or victims . I dont have anything to read out on the president with any of the victims, the shootings yesterday. Billy it was gut wrenching event and our heart go out to the victims and families on another horrific gun violence weve seen in our communities. Was the white house reaction to the leader in the grouping convicted of conspiracy . Clearly we have seen the verdict but while the verdict has been reached in this case, we are mindful that there are other similar cases pending so we dont want to interfere with those so i would refer you to the department of justice for common on this as it is related to other cases as well but were just going to be mindful there are other pending issues here.
